Paperless recruitment can make a difference
AKM Fahim Mahroor, CEO and co-founder of Bdjobs.com, a leading career management website of Bangladesh said, "At present, many banks and private organisations are receiving and reviewing job applications through online platforms like Bdjobs.com. The submission process of the applications has become paperless and it saves a lot of money."
"Again," he added, "many private organisations including banks are conducting job exams and interviews through online platforms like Bdjobs.com. Even the interviews and written exams of 20,000 to 30,000 candidates are being conducted virtually through our website."
He opined that taking online exams and interviews will reduce the expenditures significantly and ensure better transparency in the recruitment process.
"Previously, banks used to spend Tk 300 to 400 per candidate to hold the job exams and interviews physically. Now, the banks who opted for online exams and interviews have to spend only Tk 15 to 20 per candidate. This ultimately saves a lot of money of the employers and employees as well as they don't have to travel or stay in another city just to attend the exams," said Fahim.
"The government can also go for online recruitment process and it will increase transparency and accountability. Why a candidate is selected and why a candidate will not be called for the interview, everything will be done in a systematic manner and will be remained documented."
